Bike Reviews

The Xenith Pro had the most exceptional component spec in this category, in which we like a mix of speed and value. Riders praised its "amazing ride quality"; said one tester, "it just feels fun to ride." While the least flashy-looking (testers were split on the electric-blue paint), the Jamis is "race--worthy and rock-solid under the hardest efforts." But the ride is also "delicate and refined," a quality rare in midlevel carbon bikes. "Any hardworking rider looking to stretch a dollar would be foolish not to consider the Xenith Pro," one tester said.
